I finished Crimes Against Logic pretty quickly (it was a pretty short read at 150+ pages). If you can get past the extremely boring first chapter, it's a pretty interesting book that presents new ways of thinking about problems. Mainly, it teaches how to debate people better and how to define points of contention more clearly. Overall, I liked it. Some parts were hard to follow. Other parts were actually really fun to read, like the chapter on the misuse of statistics.

I told my sweetie he should read it, since he holds some views that are similar to those presented in the book. After reading only bits and pieces of it, he concluded he just can't read other people's whiny, cynical drivel because he prefers his own.

I guess I'm concluding that if you are already well-versed in logic and/or a cynic, you'll probably be bored with it. For those (like me) who aren't usually very cynical, but are interested in the topic, it's a good leisurely read.

Next up, The Tipping Point. Meh.
